Hmm, V and I had an almost blazing row last night. Had a conversation, I said I wouldn't get on the net for a bit, and then she said she would ring me every half hour to make sure I wasn't on - stalag 13 anyone? Anyways, I was watching Minority Report (good movie, by the way) and flicked on the net for a bit, just to kill time basically. And I got hell for it.
Basically why are you online, sure you're watching a movie, no of course you can't do two things at once - grrr, escalated from a text message thing to a back on the phone thing, and then she said I was obviously lining up dates for specific times online when I leave her phone calls. I bit back badly, how dare she accuse me of that blah blah, and left the conversation angry. She was like let's not talk for a few days when the next round of messaging/talking occurred - grrr.
Of course, I couldn't resist the lure of a convo before that, and was getting myself all psyched up coming home from work tonight for another difficult convo, but we talked during Big Brother nominations (LOL quality time obviously), and we both stepped back from that particular brink - yet again. I come back to this part of the world, I meet up with her, I get on well with her friends and family, and vice versa, I finally cauterise the K situation (to an extent) - and I just feel that I don't get any or enough credit for all the positives grrr. Enough on that matter for the time being...
Another bad day in Iraq - four suicide bombings in Mosul, killing 38, along with all the usual pot shots taken at the security forces. Donald Rumsfeld, on one of the US Sunday morning political shows, said that yes, the Iraqi government was talking to some of the insurgents, though not the dead enders, and yes, if the insurgency is a normal one, it could last up to twelve years. Though by that stage, it will be the Iraqi forces handling most of the battle. More and more I am thinking of the Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan - I am too young to even have been alive for the Vietnam War, yes, even the North taking Saigon at the end LOL.
Took a bit of finding, but this, although fairly depressing in the fact that the insurgents are this well organised, is an excellent piece of battlefield journalism. An attack on Baya police station in Baghdad a few days ago, the insurgents were beaten back, but they swarmed the neighbourhood, put down suppressive fire against the police, had two suicide bombs used against the actual station itself, and the local army post was also swarmed and US reinforcements slowed down by other suicide bombings. The enemy is getting very complex in it's planning - Iraq is so at a tipping point right now.
On a lighter note, this one, about England's eternal search for a homegrown Wimbledon winner LOL. Had a good young player have a tough five setter over the weekend, but no one looks like getting close to a grasscourt win ever.
Okies, that's enough for the night
Later taters
